Fifth edition of the hit Nightmare series is a poorly constructed special effects showcase.

A genre film that won't totally insult your intelligence or your eyes.
Caryn James, New York Times

As for Englund, he still looks as if he's been working at Domino's too long, and he still sounds as if he's stealing his material from Don Rickles.
Richard Harrington, Washington Post

A flimsily plotted but visually impressive addition to the endless Freddy Krueger saga.
